Hello beach lovers and Ultimate addicts,The Brussels Ultimate Beach is back, with some improvements (like every year). So, besides the sand, special beers, organic home-made food, groovy party and cosy accommodation 5’ from the playing site, we’ll have a free-tapas-and-a-drink welcome party at the hostel, where everything (besides playing) will be happening ! Dates: 31st of July + 1st of August 2010 (+ welcome party on Friday). Team Formula again, but there will be the possibility to register individually for the 1 or 2 Hat-Hot Pick-Up teams that we’ll have in the tournament. If your team or you are interested, give us a quick reply, before the 5th of June, at patricia.vanhalteren at belgacom.net

Then we will communicate the selected teams and players for the 8th of June, and send you the payment information. Thank you José for the nice pictures from last year’s edition. This small format beach tournament is part of "Bruxelles-Les-Bains", a large event bringing the beach (and the sand !) in the centre of the town, together with beach sports competitions, demos and initiations, plus beach animations, concerts, exotic bars and food stands.
